Don Albrecht created this magnificent natural-edge vessel from a fallen Ohia tree. Don lives in Mountain View on the Big Island of Hawaii and he has been turning since 1989. Thirty years ago, Don and his wife Pat made the move to Hawaii. Don personally harvests the wood he uses to make large natural edge turnings. He lets the shape of the log dictate the shape of his wonderful creations and enhances what nature has already started.
After rough turning the wood to about an inch thick, it put on a shelf to dry for several months. Then, it is remounted on the lathe for final shaping and sanding. Finally each piece is buffed and polished for a unique and beautiful one-of-a-kind handcrafted work of art.
